Zombies... And Other Creepy Crawlies...

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

Zombies need something to chase/eat so I picked up a few civilian miniatures; to the left is a pack from Reaper called something like "Modern Children". The girl in the front looks a lot like my youngest daughter who thought I had the miniature "made" for her. I need to find one to do for my oldest dayghter now...

Below is one of the EM4 Troopers that I painted. It is hard (for me) to try to get the dark colors to photo well and it seems my hand lent itself as an adequate backdrop.

I need to try to take a few pictures during the day and see how that turns out...

I've only done 2 zombies lately, the left is a skeletal trooper, to the right is a modified Heroclix; I think he'd work well as a "Left For Dead" mini.

On The Work Bench...

I recently purchased some 15mm miniatures from RebelMinis that I am working on, I really like the quality of their miniatures. I purchased:

Zombies

Aliens

Aliens with weapons

Civilian Contractors

Civilians

2 Modern US Soldiers (freebees - much appreciated)

Zombie Hunters (I finished painting this weekend)

I've found a cool use for some of the plastic safety lids on milk that I hope to write up here next.

On my quest for painting more miniatures than I bought, I am a -25 for the year (I count packs of 15mm as 1 for the bought/painted calc's).

About Me

My name is Mike, and I like zombie flicks. I also like painting/altering miniatures, which works pretty well together with my like of zombie flicks. "Army of Darkness", "Shaun of the Dead", and the Resident Evil trilogy are some of my faves. The latter have many inspirations for modern miniatures.
